A TEENAGER was punched in the face and robbed as he walked home from school.

The 16-year-old boy was attacked at 4pm on July 5 as he headed along Tenterden Street, Bury, past two other youths. He was grabbed by the arm and them punched in the face, falling to the ground. The pair then stole his mobile phone before running from the scene. Both were Asian, aged between 16 and 17, and were wearing black tracksuit bottoms. One had his hair in a 'curtain' style while the other wore a baseball cap.
